Interview with Jim Spignardo
What does it take to build AI workflows that work? Why do so many fail?
Jim isn’t a typical ESW guest. I think it’s essential for security folks to regularly step outside the security bubble and understand other perspectives and mindsets. That’s what we’re doing today with Jim.
He specializes in building custom AI architecture and workflows for his clients. We discuss the state of AI in the enterprise and why so many of these efforts fail. We’ll discuss the elements of AI success and whether security plays a role in helping AI efforts succeed or contribute to failures.

X-PHY Delivers Hardware-Enforced Security for the Age of AI Agents
Camellia Chan, CEO and Co-Founder of X-PHY, discusses how Model Context Protocol (MCP) is making it easier for AI agents to plug into enterprise apps and operate with elevated permissions—creating new opportunities for attacks and data exfiltration. She explains how X-PHY’s hardware-enforced monitoring and detection sit beyond the OS trust boundary to enforce immutable limits on what agents can do and stop threats before data is lost, so organizations can adopt agentic AI with confidence.

Introducing Legion Investigator: Goal-Oriented AI Investigations
Traditional security playbooks often fail because they cannot capture the fluid, context-dependent reasoning required when a routine investigation hits a non-scripted "judgment point." Legion Investigator addresses this gap by employing goal-oriented AI agents that move beyond rigid scripts to interpret findings and execute complex, multi-step investigations based on your team's unique environment and expertise. By bridging the divide between automated execution and human-level reasoning, the platform ensures that every alert (no matter how unpredictable) is handled with the depth and consistency of a senior analyst.

The Missing Layer in Zero Trust: The Security Policy Control Plane
Zero Trust has become the dominant security architecture for hybrid and cloud environments, but many organizations are discovering that deploying enforcement technologies alone does not deliver operational control. Firewalls, cloud security groups, and microsegmentation platforms enforce access decisions, yet the policies behind those controls are often fragmented, difficult to validate, and constantly changing. In this conversation, FireMon CEO Jody Brazil discusses why modern security architectures increasingly require a security policy control plane: a layer that continuously validates how policy is enforced across firewalls, cloud networks, and segmentation platforms. The discussion explores why policy drift occurs in real environments, how enforcement systems become difficult to coordinate at scale, and what organizations must do to ensure Zero Trust policies remain consistent as infrastructure evolves.

So you want to be a CISO? Do you know what that role entails? It depends on a number of factors, including industry, country location, technical vs. business, and more. Each position is more different than you think.
Joanna Chen, Chief Information Security Officer at Dashlane, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why not all CISO gigs are created equal. As a "technical" CISO in a foreign country, Joanna realized that not all of her peers came from a technical background, like herself. It's a broad world and the CISO role varies a lot. Joanna will discuss how to understand the various CISO roles and discuss the skills that are makers and breakers.
Managing Cyber Risk as Financially Motivated Attacks Grow The ransomware and eCrime landscape continue to evolve at a rapid pace. ESET’s global research team has been closely following ransomware gang disruptions and their use of EDR Killers to disable cybersecurity tools. In this interview, Tony Anscombe will take a look into recent research, and explore how the industry and businesses are responding to combat financial risk and mitigate threats.

Attack Surface Just Got a Copilot AI adoption is accelerating faster than most organizations can secure it — and the consequences are showing up in email inboxes, collaboration platforms, and the shadow tools employees use every day. According to Mimecast's State of Human Risk 2026, 80% of organizations are concerned about sensitive data exposure through generative AI tools, yet 60% still lack strategies to address AI-driven threats. The result is a growing gap between the security investments organizations are making and the protection they're actually getting. In this conversation, Rob Juncker will explore why human behavior has become the defining variable in enterprise cybersecurity, how shadow AI is creating new data exposure and insider risk vectors, and what it takes for security architectures to adapt in real time — without slowing down the business.
